Remember the “Soul Skating” chapter in Tony Hawk’s Underground? If you haven’t, it’s basically the final act of the game in which your player-created character rejects the corporate direction of skateboarding after seeing it turn his “friends” (screw you, Eric) into greedy, money-hungry monsters. Essentially, it’s about getting back to the essence and core values of what skateboarding used to be — freedom, rebellion, and expression without compromise. And it’s always stuck with me.
